Blue Bloods fans aren’t done with the Reagan family just yet! Deadline announced on February 18, 2025, that a Blue Bloods spinoff — titled Boston Blue — is in the works at CBS. The series will center around Detective Danny Reagan (played by Donnie Wahlberg), as he moves from New York to Boston to take a position with the Boston Police Department, where he’s paired with Detective Lena Peters. Lena, much like the Reagans, is the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family.
According to Deadline, Boston Blue wasn’t originally conceived as a Blue Bloods spinoff. Instead, the series started as a pitch by showrunners Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis as a drama that followers a family of police officers in Boston whose eldest daughter is partnered with a new transfer from the Los Angeles Police Department.
Though CBS ordered a script based on the pitch and the idea was well received by both the network and studio, executives, in the end, saw Boston Blue as an opportunity to expand the Blue Bloods universe. Given that Wahlberg is a Boston native, CBS viewed Danny as the best fit to lead the spinoff. (Another spinoff idea explored revolved around Danny moving to Texas.)
Boston Blue is set to premiere in the 2025-2026 season. Of course, Boston Blue isn’t the only spinoff CBS has in the works. The network is also in production on two Fire Country spinoffs (Sheriff Country and Fire Country: Surfside), one FBI spinoff (FBI: CIA), one Equalizer spinoff and one Neighborhood spinoff.
